Yes — Popped Potato Chips, Lightly Salted is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because it is a ready-to-eat industrially formulated snack made from dried potatoes, rice flour, cornflour, potato starch, oil, and additives. The formulation and processing into popped chips qualify it as a ready-to-eat processed food under NOVA. Citric acid and vitamin D are not the main concern; the ready-to-eat industrial formulation is the deciding factor.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
